    The whole damn album's as sweet as a pecan nut. [Nov 2014, p.93]

    Because this is an album from a man of such reputation there is no room for faltering and so the record’s short running time and exemplary sequencing are two of the album’s greatest strengths.

    Unlike other such projects that prop up ageing rockers with a surplus of headliners respectfully going through the motions, Lewis is totally in control as he cranks out these tunes with a fire and intensity that doesn’t seem to have dimmed despite his six decade career.

    Lewis remains a defiantly ornery presence, and the stellar cast here--Neil Young, Robbie Robertson, Doyle Bramhall II--are kept firmly in harness to his still muscular vocals and stridentbarrelhouse piano.

    This is a warm, bluesy album of country-fuelled rock ’n’ roll that oozes old-timer class.

    On all of them, Mr. Lewis sounds peaceful, steady-rolling; this is as easy for him as falling off a log. What’s missing is the thing he’s great at: creating a feeling of surprise or danger.

    Nobody else can sing like Jerry Lee and it remains a pleasure to hear him sink his teeth into nearly any song, especially when he's supported by a team as sympathetic as he is here.
